 Dan Boerman is a New Zealand comedian based in Edinburgh and he recently visited Melbourne to perform at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.Thanks for subscribing to The Lui Diaz Podcast!In this wild, tangent-filled ride in Episode 72 of The Lui Diaz Podcast, Lui sits down with Kiwi comedian Dan Boerman in Melbourne’s Hosier Lane for a two-hour chat that’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and chaotic. Recorded during the Melbourne Comedy Festival, this episode captures Dan’s unfiltered energy as he shares his journey from procrastinating stand-up for a decade to taking big swings in the UK comedy scene. The conversation zigzags through topics like stretching leather boots, losing a Mario-themed Casio watch, and the art of reframing losses as wins. Lui and Dan dive deep into personal growth, relationships, and the hero’s journey, all while riffing on everything from German backpackers to neon signs. It’s a raw, real, and ridiculously fun episode that proves why Lui’s podcast is a must-listen for comedy fans and dream-chasers alike.HighlightsDan’s Comedy Journey (00:22:37–00:26:00): Dan recounts signing up for his first comedy gig in 2012 but bailing for a nipple piercing while high, followed by a nine-year procrastination period before finally diving into stand-up four years ago. A 2014 DM from a friend calling him a “failed musician” fuels his drive.Reframing Losses as Wins (00:18:58–00:21:01): Dan shares his mindset of treating setbacks as progress, like getting gonged off a London stage after 29 seconds (00:18:27). He emphasizes focusing on small victories, like meeting comics and improving his craft in Melbourne.Leather Stretching and Pregnant Cows (00:04:05–00:05:23): A hilarious tangent about Dan buying too-small RM Williams boots and questioning a shop assistant’s claim that leather doesn’t stretch—until he sees a pregnant cow and rethinks it all.The Hero’s Journey and Relationships (01:42:47–01:47:02): Lui and Dan explore how relationships help process trauma, with Lui reflecting on learning to be a reliable dad despite growing up without one (01:45:00). Dan discusses balancing openness with restraint in dating.Tough Gigs and German Audiences (01:59:01–02:00:00): Dan recounts a brutal gig with just two audience members—an Irish and a German woman—who took his jokes literally, turning his set into a TED Talk. He salvaged it with a post-show “Spotify wrapped” of his set list.Key TakeawaysConsistency Over Perfection (00:16:15–00:17:14): Lui shares a gem from a young comedian: we overestimate what we can do in a year but underestimate what we can achieve in a decade. Small, consistent steps—like a janitor investing daily to leave $5M to charity—lead to big wins.Reframe Setbacks (00:20:23–00:20:33): Dan’s philosophy of “no losses, only big wins and little wins” helps him stay motivated despite tough gigs, reminding us to focus on progress over perfection.Build Trust Before Opening Up (01:53:09–01:53:55): Both discuss learning to hold back in relationships until trust is earned, a lesson from past betrayals that fosters deeper connections.You can follow Dan Boerman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danboermancomedy/🫶 Thanks again for listening and watching!
